‘Nothing Funny’: Iceland Condemns Trump’s Map of Expanded U.S.
“There is nothing funny or normal about making fun of the sovereignty of states,” Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir told reporters.
President Donald Trump has faced significant backlash from Iceland following his social media post that placed the American flag over Iceland, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. Iceland's Prime Minister Kristín Þorsteinsdóttir publicly condemned the map, stating that it was an "insult to Icelanders, Canadians, and Greenlanders" and that making fun of state sovereignty was "nothing funny or normal" in today's world.
Iceland summoned U.S. Ambassador Billy Long for a formal reprimand and emphasized that sovereignty is not something to be taken lightly.
